    Sad news for all OBOOM USERS. For 2 years we used this thread under the old title,"Is OBOOM working now," as a tool to keep those members that use OBOOM informed as to its status. Those days are over with its eminent shutdown. Therefore, I will no longer continue to update this thread.Thanks to all who contributed, and most of all thanks to the people at Oboom support who always were willing to answer any of my questions.

    It's been like this for the last 3 or 4 days for me. I've seen this in the past where it takes a few days before it's back to normal. Fingers crossed as this is my go-to method for downloading from the sister site.

    A week ago top I just downloaded most of Hephaestus libs from AZ using the oboom transfer uploaded links "trick". Worked like a charm.
    I just checked and it won't upload anything, local or remote.

    https://uptobox.com/ has remote link upload, but isn't as restriction free as Oboom (gotta wait 30 sec to download, but speed is good)

    This works as well https://my.pcloud.com

    WARNING Uptobox is doing the following:


    Dear Uptobox users, we are currently running a test of crypto mining using 10 to 20% of your CPU while you are on Uptobox pages in a try to remove ads in the near future.


    We are tired of getting malicious ads and our goal is always to provide you a great content and safe content, with this move, we can be independant and finance our network.

    While that is undesirable for sure, is it really that bad to let your CPU usage go up a bit when you are downloading paid software for free?
    I would just add the link, start the download, then close the page, but if that's too terrible, you can always block it.
    https://fossbytes.com/block-cryptocurrency-mining-in-browser/

    Not all mining is bad, especially if a website is upfront about it. In fact, you may want to support a website with mining instead of viewing ads — it's a pretty fair trade-off.

    I would much rather let a TV station use some of my TV's unused CPU power to watch a show with no commercials.

    If you are worried about a lasting "hack" you can run the browser test here "https://cryptojackingtest.com/"

    Let me pu it this way: The ONLY good thing about it is that they are letting us know about it.

    Ya, Oboom is still the best, but for a temporary fix, uptobox or pcloud should work for people
